Lake Baccarac is located near the western coast of Mexico, tucked into the lush high desert foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains. Approximately 25 miles long and about 33,000 acres at capacity, Lake Baccarac was stocked with pure
Florida Strain Bass
in 1978. Since then, along with Lake El Salto, it has become “the”
destination for big bass
hunters, and those looking to check that
10+ pound largemouth
off of their bucket list.
Officially named Presa Diaz Ordaz, after a Mexican political figure and president from 1964 to 1970, it is also know as Presa de Bacurato, after the village of Bacurato, which was relocated above the high water line, before being submerged as the lake filled in the late 1970's. American anglers then morphed the name to Lake Baccarac.
With minimal fishing pressure, catch & release regulations, mild year round climate, and a constantly reproducing forage base of tilapia and shad, Baccarac bass put on up to 2 pounds per year! This formula consistently produces many mature trophy bass in the 10 to 15 pound range year over year, along with the hardest pulling 4 to 8 pound “average fish” most have anglers have ever encountered.
Lake Baccarac has produced more trophy largemouth bass over 10 pounds than any other lake on earth over the past 30 years. Total numbers of average sized bass caught per day can vary, but the ratio of fish over 8,9,10 pounds is hard to believe. The official lake & Central American record is 19.10, but fish larger than 20 pounds have been caught by local tilapia fishermen, or found floating on the surface after choking on large tilapia. Many avid anglers believe the next
world record largemouth bass
could possibly be pulled from Lake Baccarac.
In addition to the Sinaloa River, the lake is fed by many washes and arroyos meandering down from the surrounding Sierra Madre Occidental Mountain Range. There are many islands and submerged trees, as well as old flooded villages, and cemeteries scattered around the lake. The beautiful scenery and abundant wildlife add to the serenity that is only interrupted when El Grande is at the end of your line.
The submerged tree cover and rock formations make using anything less than 20 pound test line a bad idea. Some anglers use 50-60 pound braided line, but quality 20-25 pound monofilament, co-polymer, or fluorocarbon lines are the choice of most anglers.
